We have spent three Christmas’s in this very homely cottage.It is well equipped in the kitchen for those seasonal meals and a comfortable lounge with a log fire to relax in front of.The village is very friendly and there are many interesting places to visit nearby.

Cottage no fault. Clean and well presented. As described. Communication was poor. Workman arrived day 2 - thought cottage empty - for window maintenance. Noise and paint smell made it imposible to be in cottage during day. Booking agent directed us to owner who didnt reply . Workman also unable to get in touch. Not great for a relaxing break
